Unfamiliar Shakespeare provides a selection of Shakespeare's finest scenes and poetry from his lesser known works. This book seeks to rescue these exceptional passages from their relative obscurity and to reassess their individual merits as dramatic dialogue or poetry. There is nothing second-rate about the selected pieces: they are first-rate scenes from less accessible plays and poems.
F.E. Halliday introduces the sections of the book with a thorough summary of each play. He also discusses the significance of the scenes in the context of Shakespeare's stylistic and creative development over the full course of his career.
Unfamiliar Shakespeare is a classic anthology suitable for the general reader and the student alike.
It offers an unconventional picture of the rich diversity of Shakespeare's genius. F.E. Halliday
